PROS reviews about "manager"

I was recruited for a Security Architect position, but I was tricked into working as a Security Engineer because I was told after signing my contract that titles don't mean too much in the company and I will be considered an architect anyway. Then, when I started it turned out there is one more surprise - the manager who hired me was no longer my manager. The new one was very arrogant, obscene and a sexist. He humiliated me a lot by screaming at me, acting like an idiot and then saying that he was joking. I was given several performance bonuses despite his will, because the person who initially hired me was now his manager and he appreciated me a lot. All those stories were told to HR - there is no such thing like gender equality or diversity in this company. Managers like mine can do whatever they want and threat women with disrespect. Even after this was brought to the attention to HR, no one really did anything. Then, I decided that I should leave this hostile environment.

Not many I know of.

The focus is enterprise software, so you'll need to be creative if you want some variety. We have approached this by working across the organization on various projects to flex new skills and solve different problems. Plus there are many resource groups and other opportunities to keep from getting in a rut.

Managers are blaming subordinates for problems but taking credit for their accomplishments. The time for management to realize that they are watching and listening to the wrong people has come and gone. The social experiment of promoting not because of qualifications but because of saying the right things or being the right color has failed. HR 'business partners' are not the employees' friends, as the pretend to me - IMHO they do that to get dirt to twist around and use against you, and they seem to follow the saying that one lies and another swears to it. One probably ought to educate leadership that negative EBITDA [going from (4.7) to (6.0) Q2 2021 to Q2 2022] and net revenue of 34% is not a good thing under any circumstances (unless the finance team doesn't know what the brackets mean) before the institutional investors, who own (according to Yahoo finance) over 95% of the stock, decide to sell because, after all, they are ultimately accountable to their investors, not to what appears to be a sinking ship. All IMHO........

Compensation and bonus are not so good, comparatively;

Conservative on the salaries end.

- Workload can vary greatly depending on project that you are assigned to, this is not a 9 to 5 if you're in a client facing role - Having retention troubles in great resignation era. I believe it's less culture/company and more salary/incentives. Compensation was above-average pre-pandemic, but has not adjusted enough for existing employees

I really don't have any Cons to report.

Politics are game of thrones level. Better be ready for a little light incest to advance. I was blatantly told I was not hired for an internal transfer job because I already work at PROS, and the hiring manager didn't want to hire internal. I was also told I was the most qualified. No response from HR. When I had 5 different bosses over 5 weeks and wasn't sure who was my boss? No response from HR. Be ready for lots of performance reviews like the following (5 years in a row) "well your old boss was fired, and I'm new and not willing to go to bat for you based on our 2 months of experience. Better luck with promotion next year"
